Chapter Twenty-Three: Something Happened
Gu Li and Lin Shirong went back to the house side by side, lit the oil lamp, and the dark room instantly became bright.
"Aso, are the injuries on your body serious?" Lin Shirong asked with concern.
Hearing the word "Asu", Gu Li felt a trace of warmth in his heart. After two fights, the friendship between the two became closer, and Lin Shirong no longer called Gu Li bucktooth.
Gu Li laughed with relief: "It's not in the way, just a few punches and kicks, it can't hurt!" ”
Although many parts of his body were beaten by the man in black, there were still bloodshot at the corners of his mouth. These are only skin injuries, not bones.
On the contrary, it was Lin Shirong, whose robe was torn, but there were no scars on his white and chubby body. Sure enough, it is the skin and thick flesh, and the human flesh shield is resistant to attributes, Gu Li sighed in his heart.
"Are you sure it's okay, you don't have to go to the infirmary?" Lin Shirong was not at ease and continued to ask.
"It's fine, just get some sleep." Gu Li is clear about his physical state. repeatedly insisted that there was nothing to do, and Lin Shirong did not continue to ask.
Lin Shirong glanced at Gu Li a few times, his eyes dodged, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Gu Li wondered, did Lin Shirong have something to hide from himself?
"Asu, although the two of us met on the first day, you gave me a very cordial feeling. I have offended you a lot during the day, and I hope you don't take it to heart. Lin Shirong and Gu Li sat opposite each other, their eyes revealing sincerity.
Lin Shirong did know Gu Li on the first day, but for Gu Li, Lin Shirong looks exactly the same as Hong Kong movie star Zheng Zeshi. Gu Li, who grew up watching Zheng Zeshi's movies since he was a child, is no stranger to Lin Shirong, just like an old friend for many years.
"Brother Lin, I first arrived in Foshan and have no relatives or friends. When I saw you during the day, I felt like I was at home with you. Besides, you are kind enough to take me in as a stranger, and in my heart, I have long regarded you as a big brother. ”
Gu Li traveled to the movie world and became a disciple of Huang Feihong, a junior brother of Lin Shirong, and Ya Cha Su. On the first day, he participated in two fights with Lin Shirong, and in the dark, a kind of brotherhood arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart, and Gu Li couldn't help but hold Lin Shirong's fat big hand with both hands.
"Good brother, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Lin Shirong was moved by Gu Li's sincerity, and the two of them clasped their hands tightly.
Feeling the stroking sensation from Lin Shirong's big hand, Gu Li's body tightened, and he quickly withdrew his hands. The two big men held their hands together, and Gu Li's body tightened unconsciously, and his scalp was numb.
Lin Shirong also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and coughed dryly. Got up and lay down under the bed, and took out a wooden box with some tinkering.
There was a "bang", and a large pile of copper coins and broken silver fell on the table.
"This is my whole body savings, I don't know if it's enough for a hundred taels." Lin Shirong sighed lightly, it seemed a pity.
Looking at the table full of copper coins and silver, Gu Li was a little red-eyed. If these silver taels are put into the future generations, they should be worth a lot of money. It's a pity that he traveled to the movie world, but he couldn't take anything outside the movie world with him.
"One tael, ten taels......" Lin Shirong carefully counted the silver taels on the table under the light of the oil lamp.
"Ugh."
Lin Shirong sighed, and his whole body sank.
"It's only eighty taels of silver in total, not enough for one hundred taels."
Looking at Lin Shirong, who was dejected and lamenting softly, Gu Li had mixed feelings in his heart. For a Qinglou woman, she devoted all her belongings to redeem herself. Besides, Gu Li looked at the Feihong girl, and he didn't seem to have any love for Lin Shirong.
"Brother Lin, calm down and think about it, are you sure that Miss Feihong has love for you? Is it worth all the money to redeem her? ”
Although Gu Li has never been in love, he has seen many stories of infatuated men who have been cheated out of their money by women, and finally ended up with both people and money.
didn't want to see Lin Shirong hurt by love, Gu Li advised again.
"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. Asu, you and I are brothers, can you lend me twenty taels of silver first, and I will definitely pay you back in the future. Lin Shirong's eyes lit up, and he hit Gu Li with his idea.
"Damn, the dead fat man originally called me a brother and sister for money. It is estimated that he already knew that his savings were not enough, so he changed his normal state and affectionately called himself Asu. ”
Gu Li glanced at Lin Shirong resentfully, and reluctantly took out fifteen taels of silver from his pocket.
"No, it's fifteen taels of belongings. In the future, you will be responsible for eating and drinking Lazar, and you will be responsible for me! ”
Seeing Gu Li take out fifteen taels of silver, Lin Shirong's eyes widened, and his heavy face became smiling.
"Aso, thank you! In the future, if I Lin Shirong eats in one bite, you will definitely have your share. ”
Lin Shirong stared at the fifteen taels of silver on the table, his eyes were full of color, as if the world was full of hope.
After two fights in one day, Coulee was a little tired. returned to his room, accompanied by the roaring snoring of Lin Shirong's train, and gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Gu Li had not seen Lin Shirong throughout the day.
Fortunately, he still had dozens of copper coins on his body, and Gu Li wandered the streets, asking passers-by everywhere where Bao Zhilin was.
Gul followed the directions of passers-by and saw a spacious courtyard. The vermilion gate is very tall, and the yellow Baozhilin plaque stands out in the sunlight.
There are also two vivid stone lions standing at the gate, no wonder people often say that Wong Fei Hung's favorite sport is lion dance.
Gu Li watched the street corner for a while, and from time to time passers-by walked into Bao Zhilin, and some people came out with paper packets of medicinal herbs. Gu Li really wanted to go in and meet Huang Feihong and worship him as a teacher. But now Huang Feihong remembers his father's will and concentrates on running a pharmacy, and will definitely not accept apprentices.
Worried, Gu Li still retreated and returned to Lin Shirong's home.
At this time, it was ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Shirong was dressed cleanly, and he was about to go out with a smile on his face.
"After a day of traveling, I finally managed to make up enough for a hundred taels of silver. Asu, you wait for me at home, wait for me to redeem Fei Hong, and cook big fish and meat for you at night. ”
After speaking, Lin Shirong couldn't wait to run out.
Gu Li smiled, no wonder he didn't see Lin Shirong all day, but he didn't expect to make up money. Anyway, there was nothing to do, and Gu Li slowly waited in the house for Lin Shirong to come back.
But an hour passed, the sky was getting dark, and Lin Shirong didn't come back, and Gu Li's right eyelid kept beating.
The left eye jumped rich, the right eye jumped disaster, and Gu Li was flustered. Just like last night when he encountered the man in black through the alley, his instincts as he traveled through the movie world were not ordinarily accurate.
Afraid that something would happen to Lin Shirong, Gu Li hurriedly ran to Yixiang Courtyard.
"Old bustard, are Lin Shirong and Miss Feihong here with you?"
"An hour ago, Lin Gongzi came to me and paid a ransom of one hundred taels. I don't know where he went after that, but Fei Hong left with Wen Gongzi. The old bustard of Yixiangyuan saw that Gu Li was in a hurry, and patiently replied.
"Oh no, something happened!" Coulee was shocked.
Lin Shirong took the money to ransom the Feihong girl, but the others disappeared. On the contrary, Miss Feihong left with Wen Nan, there must be something strange in this.
